I was referred to Mr Kaliaperumal suffering from chronic pulsating leg pain via my GP/pain specialist . The condition meant I had trouble walking distances before having to stop for rests. As an active middle aged man this was frustrating and impacting my quality of life. Mr Kaliaperumal referred me for an mri and based on that result I had 2 rounds of nerve root block treatment as I wished to try all non surgical means, however Mr Kaliapermul always stressed at some point surgical intervention would be required as both nerves were compressed due to thickening and stenosis . I had a bilateral foraminotomy in July 2022 and a follow up in march 23 when I was discharged from his clinic. All through this process the advice and treatment has been absolutely first class. Every option and out come was clearly explained ,the operation and aftercare by all the team was second to none. I was discharged the day after the procedure and followed all the advice given. I can now walk , pain free, for 4-5 miles, with only minor discomfort if I twist or lift awkwardly . I cannot understate the difference this has made to my quality of life- I no longer dread going on holiday or out for walks and having to stop every 1/2 mile at best for a rest. I am truly indebted to the skill of Mr Kaliapermul and the team and would recommend them to anyone.They are a credit to the nhs.
